32 Occupant safety Vehicle equipment Safety i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also refers to safety-related systems and functions. Occupant safety Restraint systems In this section you will learn the most important facts about the restraint system components of the vehicle.
the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the seat belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or even fatal injuries. The seat backrest and seat belt provide the best restraint when the wearer is in a position that is as upright as possible and the seat belt is properly positioned on the body. G Warning Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat belts available.
34 Occupant safety Safety RMake sure the seat belt is always routed snugly. Take special care of this when wearing loose clothing. RNever use a seat belt for more than one person at a time. Do not fasten a seat belt around a person and another person or other objects at the same time. RSeat belts should not be worn twisted. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the seat belt to distribute impact forces. The twisted seat belt against your body could cause injuries.
Occupant safety X If necessary, adjust the seat belt to the appropriate height (Y page 35). X If necessary, pull upwards on the shoulder section of the seat belt to tighten the belt across your body. Slide belt sash guide : downwards. X Release belt sash guide release A and make sure that belt sash guide : has engaged. All seat belts in the vehicle, except the driver's seat belt, are equipped with a special seat belt retractor to secure child restraint systems properly.
Safety 36 Occupant safety ETDs help remove slack in the seat belts in an accident, pulling the seat belt close against the occupant's body. ETDs do not correct incorrect seat positions or incorrectly fastened seat belts. ETDs do not pull vehicle occupants back towards the backrest. If the seat belt is also equipped with a seat belt force limiter and this is triggered, the force exerted by the seat belt on the vehicle occupant is reduced.
Occupant safety Safety guidelines for the seat belts, the Emergency Tensioning Devices and the air bags G Warning RDamaged seat belts or seat belts that have been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced and their anchoring points must also be checked. Only use seat belts which have been installed or supplied by an authorized Sprinter Dealer.
38 Occupant safety Safety abrasions or other, potentially more serious injuries resulting from air bag deployment. If you sell your vehicle, we strongly recommend that you inform the subsequent owner that the vehicle is equipped with SRS. Also refer them to the applicable section in the Operator's Manual.
booster seat recommended for the size and weight of the child. RChildren twelve years old and under must never travel on the co-driver's seat. They will otherwise be struck by the co-driver's front air bag when it inflates in a crash. This could result in serious or fatal injury. Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injuries to you or other occupants. If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you make the buyer aware of this safety information.
40 Occupant safety Safety Driver's front air bag : deploys in front of the steering wheel; co-driver's front air bag ; deploys in front of and above the glove box.
Occupant safety of the front air bags of the Emergency Tensioning Devices The side impact air bags are generally not deployed in the event of a rollover, unless the system detects high vehicle deceleration or acceleration in a lateral direction and determines that they can offer additional protection to that provided by the seat belt. The side impact air bags are not deployed in side impacts which do not exceed the system's deployment threshold.
42 Occupant safety Safety G Warning Do not carry heavy or hard objects in the passenger compartment unless they are firmly secured in place. Unsecured or improperly positioned cargo increases a child's risk of injury in the event of: Rstrong braking maneuvers changes of direction Ran accident Rsudden Child restraint systems Important safety notes G Warning Observe "Important safety notes" (Y page 41).
Occupant safety place anything between the seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow). The bottom of the child seat must make full contact with the vehicle seat cushion. An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause injuries to the child in the event of an accident, instead of protecting the child. RObserve the manufacturer's instructions when installing special child restraint systems. G Warning Infants and small children should never share a seat belt with another occupant.
Safety 44 Occupant safety seat belt lies properly across their bodies without the need for a booster seat. Install the child restraint system according to the manufacturer's instructions. The child restraint system must be installed firmly on both brackets. An incorrectly installed child restraint system can come loose in the event of an accident, causing the child to be severely or fatally injured.
You can use the child-proof locks in the doors to secure the sliding door and the rear door individually. A door with an activated child-proof lock cannot be opened from the inside. It can only be opened from the outside if the vehicle is unlocked. X Move head restraint : upwards. Install the "LATCH" child seat mount with Top Tether. Comply with the manufacturer's installation instructions when doing so. X Route Top Tether belt ? under head restraint : between both head restraint bars.
Safety 46 Emergency exit must not be opened unless the vehicle is stationary. In an emergency, or after an accident, the vehicle occupants can exit the vehicle through the emergency exit window. The emergency exit window is the first window behind the driver's seat on the driver's side. It is marked by the "Emergency Exit" label.

X Replace locking pins ; before beginning a new journey at the latest. You may obtain information about this from any authorized Sprinter Dealer. snow chains. Only in this way will the driving safety systems described in this section work as effectively as possible.
Safety 48 Driving safety systems serves as a reminder to take extra care while driving. X If ABS intervenes: continue to depress the brake pedal with force until the braking situation is over. X To make a full brake application: depress the brake pedal with full force. G Warning If the ABS malfunctions, other driving systems such as the BAS or the ESP® are also switched off. Observe indicator and warning lamps that may come on as well as messages in the multifunction display that may appear.
Driving safety systems Never switch off ASR when you see the d warning lamp flashing in the instrument cluster. In this case proceed as follows: Rwhen driving off, apply as little throttle as possible. Rwhile driving, ease off the accelerator pedal. Radapt your speed and driving style to the prevailing road conditions. Failure to observe these guidelines could cause the vehicle to skid. ESP® cannot prevent accidents resulting from excessive speed.
50 Driving safety systems ESP® (Electronic Stability Program) Safety G Warning Observe "Important safety notes" (Y page 47). If ESP® detects that the vehicle is deviating from the direction desired by the driver, one or more wheels are braked to help stabilize the vehicle. If necessary, the engine output is also modified to help keep the vehicle on the desired course within physical limits. ESP® assists the driver when pulling away on wet or slippery roads.

Observe the notes under "Winter driving" in the "Operation" section (Y page 271). Wheels and tires Bar marking : for tread wear is integrated into the tire tread. Notes on selecting, mounting and replacing tires ROnly mount tires and wheels of the same type and make.
Tire pressure X X Check the tire pressure (Y page 255). Restart the tire pressure monitor (Y page 258). G Warning If you use your spare wheel when M+S tires are fitted on the other wheels, be aware that the difference in tire characteristics may very well impair turning stability and that overall driving stability may be reduced. Adapt your driving style accordingly. Have the spare wheel replaced by a regular road wheel with an M+S tire at the nearest authorized Sprinter Dealer.
256 Tire pressure A table of recommended tire pressures can be found on the Tire & Loading Information placard11 or the tire pressure plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehicle (Y page 256). Use a tire pressure gauge intended for this purpose. The outer appearance of a tire does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire pressure. On vehicles equipped with the electronic tire pressure monitor, the tire pressure can be checked using the on-board computer.
Tire pressure Tire pressure too low or too high Underinflated tires G Warning Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. 257 affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overinflate tires.
Tire pressure 258 Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified load limit as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar. Overloading the tires can overheat them, possibly causing a blowout. Overloading the tires can also result in handling or steering problems, or brake failure. Check the tire pressure at least once a month. Only check and correct tire pressures when the tires are cold.
Tire pressure i USA only: If the tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning, it may take more than 10 minutes for the h tire pressure warning lamp to inform you of the malfunction by flashing for 60 seconds and then remaining lit. When the malfunction has been rectified, the tire pressure warning lamp goes out after driving for a few minutes. Information on tire pressures is displayed in the on-board computer.

Wheels and tires 262 Loading the vehicle Tire and Loading Information placard : is on the B-pillar on the driver's side. The Tire and Loading Information placard shows the permissible number of occupants and the maximum permissible vehicle load. It also contains details of the tire sizes and corresponding pressures for tires mounted at the factory. (2) The vehicle identification plate is located on the driver's seat frame. The vehicle identification plate informs you of the gross vehicle weight rating.
: Maximum number of seats ; Maximum permissible gross vehicle weight rating Maximum number of seats : determines the maximum number of occupants allowed to travel in the vehicle. This information can be found on the Tire and Loading Information placard. capacity is 650 lbs (1400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs). X Step 5: Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.
264 Loading the vehicle Example: Steps 1 to 3 The following table shows examples of how to calculate total load and cargo capacities with varying seating configurations and number and size of occupants. The following examples use a cargo limit of 1500 lbs (680 kg). This is for illustration purposes only. Make sure you always use the actual load limit for your vehicle stated on the vehicle's Tire and Loading Information placard (Y page 262).
Step 3 Permissible cargo and trailer load/ noseweight (maximum gross vehicle weight rating from the Tire and Loading Information placard minus the gross weight of all occupants) Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 1500 lbs (680 kg) 750 lbs (340 kg) = 750 lbs (340 kg) 1500 lbs (680 kg) 540 lbs (245 kg) = 960 lbs (435 kg) 1500 lbs (680 kg) 150 lbs (68 kg) = 1350 lbs (612 kg) The greater the combined weight of the occupants, the lower the maximum luggage load.
266 Tire labelling i The actual values for tires are specific to each vehicle and may deviate from the values in the illustration. Tire size designation, load-bearing capacity and speed index Maximum tire load : is the maximum permitted weight for which the tire is approved. Further information on tire loads (Y page 266).
Tire labelling G Warning The tire load rating must always be at least half of the GAWR of your vehicle. Otherwise, sudden tire failure may be the result which could cause an accident and/or serious injury to you or others. Always replace rims and tires with rims and tires having the same specifications (designation, manufacturer and type) as shown on the original part.
268 Definition for tires and loading workshop, e.g. at an authorized Sprinter Dealer. DOT, Tire Identification Number (TIN) U.S. tire regulations prescribe that every new tire manufacturer or retreader has to imprint a TIN in or on the sidewall of each tire produced. Date of manufacture: date of manufacture A provides information about the age of a tire. The first and second positions represent the week of manufacture, starting with "01" for the first calendar week.
Definition for tires and loading Tires with the DOT label fulfill the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Average weight of vehicle occupants The number of occupants for which the vehicle is designed multiplied by 68 kilograms (150 lb). Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards A uniform standard to grade the quality of tires with regard to tread quality, traction and temperature characteristics.
270 Definition for tires and loading Maximum weight of the laden vehicle The maximum weight is the sum of the unladen weight of the vehicle, the weight of the accessories, the maximum load and the weight of the optional equipment installed at the factory. Kilopascal (kPa) Wheels and tires Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa is equivalent to 1 psi. Another tire pressure unit is bar. 100 kilopascal (kPa) is equivalent to 1 bar.
Changing wheels TIN (Tire Identification Number) A unique identification number which can be used by a tire manufacturer to identify tires, for example for a product recall, and thus identify the purchasers. The TIN is composed of the manufacturer identification code, tire size, tire model code and manufacturing date. Load bearing index The load bearing index (also load index) is a code that contains the maximum load bearing capacity of a tire.
272 Changing wheels Wheels and tires characteristics could otherwise be affected. Otherwise, the operating reliability and road safety of the vehicle could be jeopardized. This could cause you to lose control of your vehicle, resulting in an accident and injuring yourself or others. The vehicle tires are an essential component in the overall performance and stability of the vehicle.
Changing wheels 273 You may mount a spare wheel against the direction of rotation. Observe the time restriction on use as well as the speed limitation specified on the spare wheel. Storing wheels Store wheels that are not being used in a cool, dry and preferably dark place. Protect the tires from contact with oil, grease and fuel. Cleaning wheels G Warning Wheels and tires Do not use power washers with circular jet nozzles (concentrated-power jets) to clean your vehicle, especially for cleaning tires.
